We are successfully using kamailio / rtpengine with websockets and
asterisk 1.8. First question is why are you duplicating registrations
within asterisk?  Secondly, why are you using websockets in asterisk?

Without knowing more about your use case, I'll tell you how we did it.
Like I said, kamailio is responsible for our SIP/ws subscribers and
registrations.  Once within kamailio we simply dispatch traffic to
asterisk via SIP/udp.  RTP is handled by rtpengine (using rtproxy-ng)
and that is basically it.

No special configuration is needed for asterisk (in fact 1.8 has no
support for RTP/SAVPF) so we rewrite SDP on 488.  Then setup a
kamailio peer and away you go.
